Technical Test Questions Know the call outs cold that they send you, review Jeppesen approaches (symbols, layout, information presented, etc.), climb via, know how to do a departure brief and arrival brief (just your regular style of briefing will be fine…nothing cosmic), know how to use an iPad to access the QRH for a minor maintenance issue, have a plan to divert ( you will divert from a go-around). Think of fuel remaining, WX, sequencing if everyone else is diverting, drive time, and other airports with company maintenance and support…
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? Defining a MOCA and Jeppesen symbols. I had very little experience with them but doing some studying online prior made all the difference

Cog Test N/A
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview? 4 weeks
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? I used Emerad Coast and then switched to Cage consulting based on recommendations. Cage was AWESOME!!! I felt very well prepared for the interview.
Any additional information you would like to add. I read Cockpit 2 Cockpit and followed it to the T and it worked. Great book and worth the read if you are serious about coming to the airlines.
Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process? Started sooner…get your apps updated, resume polished, and letters of recommendation. Don’t wait!
